Imagine with me that we could create the ideal money system, using
only the Bible and the constitution as our source... What would it look
like? Would it consist of paper money, electronic credit/debt money, OR
silver and gold money?

Today, we are witnessing the END of a monetary age. Economists
have already announced to the media the decline (and soon death) of paper
money. Credit card companies, like MasterCard, are now boldly proclaiming
that THEY are "The Money of the Future." While it's true that
they offer convenience, near universal acceptance, and simple accounting,
there is another element still missing from both paper currency AND credit/debit
cards -- Neither offer ANY long term STORE of VALUE.

Even the newest "SmartCards" (to be offered in the US within a year)
will also fail at maintaining your buying power.In the future, money
may take on a new form but, without a store of value, without substance,
and still buy less over time. This loss of buying power is called
inflation -- and economists acknowledge that today it's crushing the middle
class in America.

The government and mass media want you to believe that inflation is
under control and nearly dead. DON'T believe it! Government inflation numbers
are not trustworthy because they don't accurately reflect real cost of
living increases. An ideal money system must offer protection from
the inflationary risks resulting from politicians, bankers, and financial
market "bubbles." Before we take the final leap of faith into a
100% cashless society, let's look to the Bible, the Constitution, and history
for a solution to inflation.

History teaches us that every paper currency eventually returns to its
TRUE value, ZERO! Yet, never once in history has silver or gold ever
been discarded as worthless.(Keep in mind that a 100 % silver and
gold-backed money system did work in this nation, as recently as 100 years
ago.During this "golden era," our money maintained its value, in
fact, in it actually increased in value!).

Throughout 6,000 years of recorded history, GOLD has always emerged
as the spontaneous preference of truly free markets because politicians
and bankers simply cannot print gold. HOW can we reverse the
hundred-year trend that has pushed money away from being a valuable, physical
commodity to becoming 100% valueless? I have a few suggestions:

1. Start by studying God's best design for a money system of using
silver and gold (I've found over 783 verses from Genesis to Revelation
discussing silver, gold, and money.)

2. Then reread Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution.It
states our Founding Fathersí best design for a silver and gold money system..

3. Expect a silver and gold-backed money system to re-emerge
on the Internet. Technology is now opening new doors for a privately administered
money system to emerge that will successfully compete with both paper and
credit systems.

4. Place some silver or gold coins in your hand and you'll discover
why it is true wealth. It has substance!
